has started a movement to erect a
monument to Margaret Mitchell
(Mrs. John R, Marsh) in recogni

made to the Columbus Kiwanis
Club. The proposed monument would
be in the form of an old southern
mansion patterned after the one
in her book. “Gone With the Wind '
His suggestion was that the state
should enlarge and remodel the rock
tavern in Pine Mountain state park
so its front would be a copy of the
mansion and the name of the park

Mr- Brown declared that Geor
gia has been one of the leading
one-variety cotton states for the
past several years. In 1935 and
1936, h said, Georgia ranked first
in the number of one-variety com
munities and second in acreage
devoted to one-variety cotton,
while last year this state again
led in the number of communities
arid ranked third in acreage
"From each bale of cotton of
an improved variety ginned for a
member of the qualified group,”
the director explained, ‘‘a 6-ounce
sample of lint, representative of
both sides of the bale, will be
sent to the nearest classing office
of the Bureau of Agricultural Ec-

classed for grade and staple length
and the grower will be notified
of this classification.
“Organized groups,’’ he con
tinued, "must provide for the
drawing and shipping of samples
to the classing office- Tags and
containers will be supplied by the
Bureau, and transportation charges
will be paid by the government
There is no charge for the class

become the property of the gov
